Re: [basex-talk] Any news regarding increasing maximum node count?
Hi David, I found in the archive an email indicating that there were nebulous plans to dramatically increase the total number of nodes that a database could accommodate, from 2 billion to 8 quintillion. Are these plans still in the nebulous stage, or is there a more specific timeframe in mind? currently, the development of BaseX is mainly driven by our own use cases, in which the current max. of number of nodes is completely sufficient. If this should change, be sure I will give you a note. Best, Christian

Et voilà... https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/939 http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/ Your feedback is welcome, Christian On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 3:31 PM, Christian Grün christian.gr...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Marco, XUST001 Updating function items are not yet supported when passing an updating function as a value. This used to work neatly from 7.6 at least onwards. I must admit that I'm pretty surpirsed and I'd like to ask where ni the docs I could get more info on that. the behavior in 7.6 was not clean, which is why it was removed in more recent versions. However, the latest XQUF draft (not public yet) now provides an updating keyword, which can be used to invoke updating functions UpdatingFunctionCall ::= updating PrimaryExpr ( (ExprSingle (, ExprSingle)*)? ) Issue 939 will be closed as soon as we have implemented this in BaseX [1]. As an alternative, if you set MIXUPDATES=true in BaseX 8.0, you won't encounter any restrictions regarding the invocation of updating and non-updating functions.

Re: [basex-talk] apply variable bindings to command scripts
Hi Fabrice, I'm still hesitant to introduce more features to the command script syntax, as all of them will be BaseX-specific. But we could interpret all input as XQuery and execute the resulting XML as BaseX commands. This way, we could write things like.. commands{ for $n in 1 to 10 return create-db name='db{ $n }'/ }/commands What do you think?
